Preliminary Theoretical Investigation of Several Methods for Stabilizing the Lateral Motion of a High-Speed Fighter Airplane Towed by a Single Cable

Description: Report presenting a theoretical investigation of the lateral stability of a towed high-speed fighter plane using a fighter cruising at supersonic speed at 50,000 feet and a 1000-foot cable. The motion of this configuration was shown to have highly unstable oscillation caused by the towline restraint, but the configuration can be stabilized by choosing the right position for the towline connection and several types of automatic controls.

Tests in the Ames 40- by 80-foot wind tunnel of an airplane configuration with an aspect ratio 3 triangular wing and an all-movable horizontal tail: Longitudinal and lateral characteristics

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the low-speed large-scale characteristics of an aspect ratio 3 triangular-wing airplane model. The model consisted of the wing in combination with a fuselage of fitness ratio 12.5, a thin, triangular vertical tail with a constant-chord rudder, and a thin, unswept, all-movable tail.

Flight Determination of the Longitudinal Stability in Accelerated Maneuvers at Transonic Speeds for the Douglas D-558-II Research Airplane Including the Effects of an Outboard Wing Fence

Description: The results of transonic flight measurements of the longitudinal stability characteristics of the Douglas D-558-II research airplane in the original configuration and with outboard fences mounted on the wings are presented. The levels of normal-force coefficient at which the stability decreases and pitch-up starts have been determined for both airplane configurations at Mach numbers up to about 0.94.

Time-History Data of Maneuvers Performed by a Lockheed F-94B Airplane During Squadron Operational Training

Description: "Preliminary results of approximately 350 maneuvers of all types performed by a Lockheed F-94B jet interceptor airplane during normal operational training are presented in time-history form and are summarized as maximum load factors, control rates, angular accelerations, and sideslip angles plotted against indicated airspeed. The results were obtained from approximately 350 maneuvers performed by a Lockheed F-94B jet interceptor airplane during squadron operational training" (p. 1).

Stability and control characteristics at low speed of a 1/10-scale model of MX-1554A design

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the low-speed stability and control characteristics of a scale model of the proposed MX-1554A design. It employs a triangular wing and triangular stabilizing surfaces. Results regarding the effect of wing incidence, tail position, fences, and chord extensions on the longitudinal characteristics are provided.

Effect of Fuel-Air Ratio Concentration in Combustion Zone on Combustion Performance of a 16-Inch Ram-Jet Engine

Description: The results of fuel-air ratio and temperature surveys made in the flame stabilizing zone of a 16-inch ram-jet combustor indicated that the distribution of combustible mixture immediately downstream of a flame holder should be mechanically controlled if a preferred mixture composition is to be maintained in that zone. A sloping-baffle combustor configuration gave combustion efficiencies of 90 percent or greater over a range of fuel-air ratios from 0.010 to 0.045.

Determination of Mean Camber Surfaces for Wings Having Uniform Chordwise Loading and Arbitrary Spanwise Loading in Subsonic Flow

Description: "The field of a uniformly loaded wing in subsonic flow is discussed in terms of the acceleration potential. It is shown that, for the design of such wings, the slope of the mean camber surface at any point can be determined by a line integration around the wing boundary. By an additional line integration around the wing boundary, this method is extended to include the case where the local section lift coefficient varies with spanwise location (the chordwise loading at every section still remain… more

Radiochemical Investigation of the Spontaneous Fission of Cm²⁴²

Description: Report discussing the distribution of mass in the spontaneous fission of Cm²⁴², which was investigated by a radiochemical determination of the fission yields of twenty-one nuclides ranging in mass from 91 to 140. "Corrections for absorption, scattering, geometry, decay, and fractional saturation were applied to obtain saturation disintegration rates, which, with the known fission rate of the source, give the fission yields."

Berkeley Proton Linear Accelerator

Description: A linear accelerator, which increases the energy of protons from a 4 Mev Van de Graaff injector, to a final energy of 31.5 Mev, has been constructed. The accelerator consists of a cavity 40 feet long and 39 inches in diameter, excited at resonance in a longitudinal electric mode with a radio-frequency power of about 2.2 x 10{sup6} watts peak at 202.5 mo. Acceleration is made possible by the introduction of 46 axial "drift tubes" into the cavity, which is designed such that the particles travers… more

The Use of the Electrical Conductivity of Graphite as a Radiation Damage and Flux Monitor. Implications of the Results to the General Theory of Radiation Damage

Description: A method for monitoring radiation damage irradiations using the change of the electrical conductivity of graphite is described. Results of monitoring operations in a number of locations are given. An attempt is made to explain the damage rate found in the converter at CP-3. An estimate of the flux spectrum in VT-4 and the converter of CP-3 is made and the damage rate is computed according to theories of Seitz and James. It is found that the experimental results are more in accord with the predi… more

Thermal Annealing of Neutron Induced Discomposition in Artificial Graphite : [Part] III, Heating-During-Irradiation Experiments

Description: Experiments are described in which the pile-induced changes in electrical resistivity and elastic modulus of graphite were investigated as functions of the sample temperature during bombardment and the amount of bombardment. The data are for relatively low bombardment times (up to ca. 20 L-units) and temperatures (up to 340*C) and are not sufficiently extensive to permit unequivocal conclusions.
